Itanagar: Arunachal Pradesh is pushing hard to improve its frontier. The 118th edition of the state’s digital newsletter tracks work from September 1 to 15. It covers everything from new roads to tribal trade.
Vice-President C. P. Radhakrishnan visited the state capital, Itanagar. He spoke to the Legislative Assembly about the region's future. He called the state a “proud guardian of India’s borders” while praising its cultural strength.
Money is flowing into the region. The North Eastern Council spent Rs 82.41 crore on projects during July and August. They also dropped another Rs 15 crore to fund fresh work in health, schools, and transit. A new 40-bed hospital in Likabali, Lower Siang, is now open. It features a blood bank and emergency gear.
Chief Minister Pema Khandu wants better schools. He is pushing the National Education Policy and fixing classroom infrastructure. Officials recently honored 30 top students with the Golden Jubilee Meritorious Students’ Awards. Agriculture is also shifting. The government opened its first Agriculture Information Hub-cum-Farmers’ Hostel. They want growers to shift into medicinal plants and floriculture.
Outreach teams visited Longding, Tirap, and Changlang. These eastern districts face tough terrain. Legislators and Zilla Parishad heads met to map out solutions for these remote areas. In Ziro, TRIFED held its first Tribal Artisan Empanelment Mela to help local crafters reach global markets.
The state is also cleaning up its environment. The Nadi Utsav campaign targets river pollution and illegal fishing. Tourism is getting a boost too. A training camp in Longding taught local youth how to run eco-adventure programs.
Success stories continue to surface. Kino Yakap climbed the 7,077-metre Mount Kun. Para-badminton player Biri Takar grabbed a bronze medal at the Japan Para Badminton International 2026. Behind the scenes, the criminal justice system gained 25 new forensic experts from the National Forensic Sciences University in Gujarat. Finally, the 9th Rashtriya Poshan Maah program hit Anganwadi centers, and a new manuscript scanning site opened at the Tai Khamti and Singpho Museum in Chongkham.
